UVA in Melbourne

We are very excited at the prospect of United Visual Artists coming to Melbourne next month for Fed Square’s Light in Winter festival.

Headlining the festival is UVA’s ‘Volume’ installation with a soundtrack arranged by Neil Davidge and Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack.  UVA are a British-based collective whose current practice spans permanent architectural installation, live performance and responsive installation.

The installation has recently transformed the London V&A museum’s John Madejski Garden. Volume is a sculpture of light and sound, an array of light columns that responds spectacularly to human movement, creating a series of audio-visual experiences. Step inside and see your actions at play with the energy fields throughout the space, triggering a brilliant display of light and sound.

UVA’s website shows a glimpse of what’s in store.

Light in Winter, now in its second year, is a light-based festival that brings together artists, designers and communities to explore their ideas of light, enlightenment and hope.  Some of Melbourne’s multicultural communities will produce work as part of a ‘gift of light’ installation.
